Who thinks I can write the last 9k before midnight?

Who thinks I can write 10k before midnight?

12k?

Enough to get a decent head start on Will and put me clear in the path of finishing 100k by the 30th?

The most amazing time I ever had writing NaNoWriMo was the last day of the first year, when I decided that I would try to write something on the lines of 20k before midnight. I had given up on NaNo earlier in the month, and then randomly decided to try to finish it. Thank God I did; I didn’t make the deadline, but it made me determined to finish the next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. And the year after that. Which is this year.

Next year: no slacking. I will be maintaining the perpetual 9k lead on Will, instead of the other way around.
